"We were trying"

I remember a ball game we played many years ago. We were ahead going into the bottom of the last inning, but we kicked the game away,we lost. There were a few errors in that inning, I know I made one, I think it was my ninth or tenth of the game.Afterwards, our coach hollared at us for screwing up and blowing the game.We alrady felt badly,and that didn't help.I remember someone saying"Hey,we were trying".I'm thankful that The Lord isn't like our coach.He knows that I'm trying, and doesn't yell or condemn when I screw up,which is thousands upon thousands of times.On the contrary,He says: "Come to me,I'll forgive you,just ask Me".Thank you Lord, that you know me so well, and love me anyway.Ps. The kindergarten kids have an "I Can Tie My Shoe Club" in their classroom. I have been practicing really hard, and hope to take the test for membership in this club very soon.
